| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @ledoux1238 , yes, paper / resin composite is an interesting option. The Immedia RPM2 TT’s platter also has a layer of what they called phenolic—paper. @dover , I agree with you, micro movement of the arm pot is certainly a real concern! Un... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @dover , also thank you for the suggestion on Azzolina ! They didn’t list the Verdier plinth on the website anymore, but I may just send them an enquiry! | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @dover , the following directly from Basis’ website. I was also wondering about that, but then I saw photos of the arm pot and motor pod being placed in different positions, and the plinth doesn’t have a single screw holes! >When A.J. was b... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @ledoux1238, when it comes to replinthing TTs, I think the Verdier is probably one of the easiest to do. If the original suspension is not needed, then just a plain slab of material with a few holes drilled! On the Whatsbestforum I have seen a m... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @dover , I am also thinking of an extended plinth, much like the Basis Transcendence ! Yes, motor placement would be an issue, maybe a cutout at the side of the plinth for the motor pod, much like some VPI TTs. | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine Hi @dover , I agree, as the Verdier has such a high CG, a massive plinth is likely to be beneficial, that’s also why I considered brass/aluminium/granite. I am assuming the high density bamboo ply is relatively light, so a slab of heavier material... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine Hi @dover , one more question, is your TT the Final Audio Research VVT-1 with the outboard motor? I have a friend using this TT and has an extra motor, so I may borrow it to try on the Verdier | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine Hi @dover , thank you for the suggestion, really appreciated ! The materials you mentioned, especially the high density bamboo ply, are interesting, and I will certainly look into it! TT plinth material is a very interesting topic! Just for... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine Hi @lewm, yes, in theory that’s right! However, if the motor unit is transmitting vibration to the plinth/platter, then we have to pick the lesser evil ! That’s why I used the word “may” . Users just have to try it to see which one they prefer! | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine Hi @ledoux1238, yes I was using the Safir with the La Platine on an optical pneumatic table, but I have since moved the Safir to another TT. The Safir matches well with the EMT VM as well as the Dynavector XV 1S. My latest arms on the La Platine... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine When placing a La Platine with hard footer on a pneumatic platform, I would certainly place both the main unit and the motor on the same platform, and may put a thin layer of Isodamp sheet, or Isodamp footer, under the motor for some further dampi... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @mr_gray, thank you for the explanation! If you think the seismion is too expensive, I would highly recommend the Vibraplane or similar pneumatic anti-vibration platform, either the active (which required a high pressure air compressor) or the pas... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine Hi @mr_gray, I may have missed it in your earlier posts, but when you said you are now “floating on air”, are you putting your Verdier on a pneumatic anti-vibration platform, such as the Vibraplane or similar? I am wondering whether the “lost of ... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine I kind of doubt the difference in the height of the gap between the magnets is due to Holland vs China magnets. If you do a search on the internet, or even the reviews shown in Verdier website, you can see some of the older La Platine with the Gra... | |
| Stepping Up From A Graham 2.2 On A Basis Audio Debut Deck To follow up on @lewm ‘s comment on the compatibility between the Walker controller and the Debut Gold Standard. If I remember correctly, the Debut Gold Standard utilized a DC motor (Basis switched to AC motor, and offered their own Synchro dual p... |
